Mike’s Monday Music Playlist 27/2/17

MIKE CURATES THE PICK OF THE MUSICAL CROP TO SOUNDTRACK YOUR MONDAY MORNING.

It’s been a long wait but finally Sampha has blessed the masses with his debut album and it ain’t half bad. My personal favourite track from the album, “Process”, makes it on to the XWHY playlist this week but I’m sure a couple more might pop up in the next few months.

London born and American raised, Sudanese musician Sinkane (Ahmed Gallab) has a lot of different musical references to draw on so his album certainly comes across as eclectic. “The Way” is a delightful guitar led number that certainly wouldn’t be misplaced on a Giles Petersen Worldwide.

Very rarely do you find style and substance in such abundance in one mere mortal but Jidenna is perhaps not even a mortal man based on his emphatic debut record “The Chief”. When you think of a rappers debut album, you certainly don’t think of tracks such as “Bambi”.
